Surprise winners are part and parcel of major poker tournaments, but they tend to be rarer in High Roller events. If a seasoned commentator had looked at the line-up for the final 12 of the €10,000 High Roller event in Barcelona today - a field including Andrew Lichtenberger, Jonathan Duhamel, ElkY, Tobias Reinkemeier and Alex Bilokur - it would have taken a brave bettor to ignore them. Mikita Badziakouski leads the WPT World Online Championships High Roller Championship with just six players sitting between him and a $1 million top prize as well as the title. After almost six hours, the first PokerStars EPT Online champion has been crowned and it is David 'MonkeyBausss' Laka who is going into the history books as the winner of EPT Online 03: $5,200 NLHE 8-Max, High Roller.He claimed the famous EPT trophy and $143,567 when he overcame Pascal 'Pass72' Lefrancois heads-up in a field which attracted 87 unique players and 44 reentries for a total.
Mikita Badziakouski dominated the final table of the 2020 World Poker Tour World Online Championships $25,000 buy-in no-limit hold’em high roller event, beating out several of his fellow top tournament players in the world down the stretch to capture the title and the top prize of $1,062,730.

- The $5,250 buy-in Battle of Malta High Roller Championship saw 495 players take to the GGPoker felt and created a $2,475,000 prize pool, almost half a million dollars more than the advertised $2.
This was the 28-year-old Belarusian poker pro’s eighth recorded score of a million dollars or more. The victory brought his career earnings to $30,098,691, which meant that he surpassed Phil Ivey ($29,757,424) to climb into 11th place on poker’s all-time money list.
Badziakouski entered the final day of this high-stakes tournament as the chip leader among the last seven players. American rising star Ali Imsirovic was the shortest stack when play began, and was ultimately the first to hit the virtual rail. Imsirovic got all-in preflop in a classic race situation, with his AK looking to outrun the JJ of Daniel Rezaei. The pocket pair prevailed and Imsirovic took home $155,060 as the seventh-place finisher.
Aleksei Barkov was the next to fall. He shoved his last 16 big blinds with K5 after it folded to him in the small blind. 2019 World Series of Poker Europe main event winner Alexandros Kolonias called with 66 from the big blind to put Barkov at risk. The sixes remained the best hand after the five community cards were dealt, and Barkov was eliminated in sixth place ($197,667).
Daniel Rezaei’s run in this event came to an end when his 66 lost to American high roller regular Jason Koon’s KQ. The board ran out J88J9 to counterfeit Rezaei’s pair. He was awarded $259,979 for his fifth-place showing.
Badziakouski had been extending his lead early at the final table despite not earning any of the final blows that eliminated the first three players. He finally scored his first knockout with 99. He raised min-raised to 140,000 preflop from the button and Mark Demirjian called holding J10 out of the big blind. The 1098 flop saw Demirjian check and Badziakouski bet 140,000. Demirjian check-raised all-in for 1.7 million with his top pair and open-ended straight draw. Badziakouski quickly called with his middle set and the turn brought the K. Demirjian was in need of a queen or seven on the river, but instead the K paired the board to give Badziakouski a winning full house. Demirjian earned $380,652 as the fourth-place finisher.
Three-handed action began with Badziakouski sitting on 172 big blinds, while Kolonias had 81 big blinds and Koon had 31 big blinds. Badziakouski weilded his chip advantage ruthlesslely, continually putting maximum pressure on the two shorter stacks as they tried to outmanuever each other in order to survive to the final two. The three battled it out for more than 2.5 hours before the decisive hand was dealt. Badziakouski picked up AA on the button and min-raised to 240,000. Kolonias looked down at 33 in the big blind and three-bet all-in for 1.8 million. Badziakouski snap called and the board ran out K2104. Kolonias was sent home in third place, earning $549,794 for his strong showing.
With that Badziakouski entered heads-up play with 18.3 million of the roughly 20 million chips in play. The final two players quickly agreed to a deal which saw Koon awarded $810,869 as the runner-up while Badziakouski locked up $1,062,730. The cash saw Koon’s career tournament earnings surpass the $32 million mark. He remains in ninth place on the all-time money list.

Pascal Lefrancois added the 2020 Caribbean Poker Party (CPP) Super High Roller title to his already massive list of poker accomplishments on November 18. His victory tasted all the more sweeter thanks to the calibre of Lefrancois’ final table opponents.
The final table was ridiculously stacked and the RNG threw up some cooler hands, making for an exciting spectacle on the partypoker Twitch channel. Here’s how the final table went down.
CPP #04 Super High Roller Final Table Results
Place | Player | Country | Prize |
---|---|---|---|
1 | Pascal Lefrancois | Canada | $585,175 |
2 | Adrian Mateos | United Kingdom | $370,477 |
3 | Claas Stoob | Austria | $253,129 |
4 | Sergi Reixach | Mexico | $179,037 |
5 | Sam Trickett | United Kingdom | $131,621 |
6 | Isaac Haxton | Canada | $102,872 |
7 | Daniel Colpoys | Mexico | $84,837 |
Daniel Colpoys was the first casualty of the seven-handed final table. Short-stacked Sam Trickett decided to fold his eight-seven despite nursing a five big blind stack and it was a decision that earned him $18,000. This is because Colpoys and Claas Stoob ended up getting their stacks in the middle, Stoob with aces and Colpoys with jacks. The aces held, Colpoys busted, and everyone else laddered up the payouts.
Trickett Hits One Outer Against Teammate
Team partypoker’s Isaac Haxton was the next player eliminated. He lost a large pot against Trickett where Trickett hit a one-outer on the river. Haxton was in control in that cooler hand after flopping a set of sevens against Trickett’s aces. Trickett hit an ace on the river (Lefrancois had folded one) and Haxton handed over the majority of his stack.

He busted shortly after when he committed his final 10 big blinds with ace-nine only to lose to the pocket eights of Adrian Mateos who flopped a set.
Fifth-place and $131,621 went to Trickett. The popular Brit was left with two big blinds after his ace-jack ran into Stoob’s dominating ace-queen. Those couple of blinds went into the centre of the table with king-jack, which ultimately lost to Lefrancois’ ace-deuce.
There was another relative cooler that saw Sergi Reixach bust in fourth. He min-raised on the button with suited ace-nine before shoving for 14 big blinds after Lefrancois three-bet from the small blind. Lefrancois called, showed ace-king, and that was that for Reixach.
Heads-up was set when Stoob fell by the wayside in third. He was down to 10 big blinds when Lefrancois set him all-in. Stoob called and put his hopes on ace-deuce but was drawing thin against Lefrancois’ ace-queen. Neither player improved but Stoob needed to so crashed out.
Two Goliaths Lock Horns Heads Up
That hand gave Lefrancois a substantial chip lead, his stack being around 1.7-times that of Mateos, but there was still plenty of work for Lefrancois to do.
The pair of star butted heads for a while but neither managed to get a proper foothold in the match. That was until a massive cooler hand took place during the 400,000/800,000/100,000a level.
Lefrancois opened to 1,760,000 with ace-four of diamonds and Mateos defended his blind with queen-jack of spades. Mateos, who won this event in The Bahamas last year, check-called a 1,200,000 bet on the ten, king, four flop. The turn was another four and the betting action was similar to the previous street; Mateos check-called a 4,800,000 bet.
The river was the ace of hearts, putting three hearts on the board, improving Mateos to a Broadway straight but Lefrancois to a full house. Mateos checked again and Lefrancois over-bet shoved. Mateos took the bait and called, only to discover his hand was second-best. Still, $370,477 for a couple of day’s work isn’t to be sniffed.
Heads-Up Events Reach Day 2
A pair of Heads-Up events kicked off while the cooler-ridden Super High Roller final table was in play. The first, a $1,050 buy-in affair, attracted 102 entrants who were whittled down to only 16 players.
All 16 are now on the money and guaranteed $2,040. $30,600 awaits the champion. Dominik Nitsche, Michael Kane, and Georgios Zisimpopoulos are among those still in contention for the title.
The $109 buy-in saw 169 players enter and only 16 remain in the hunt for the $5,400 top prize and the title of champion.

Fans of four hole cards should be please to know two Pot-Limit Omaha events take place on November 19.
They both shuffle up and deal at 19:05 GMT, one with a $320 buy-in and another with a $3,200 buy-in. These will be done and dusted today and have guarantees of $30,000 and $150,000 respectively.
